DETAILS

MATERIALE
You've probably heard of fleece, but do you really know what it is? Opposite to what most people think, fleece isn't a fiber. The word actually describes the appearance of a material, and was originally used to describe part of the wool. By using wool fleece instead of polyester you receive all of the obvious advantages of wool. In addition, we are able to stick to natural materials. Last but not least, you get a comfortable garment with great insulation.

WOOL FLEECE VS. POLYESTER FLEECE
A downside of polyester is that it is made of oil and sheds micro plastic. Most people know this and still prefer polyester fleece because they think it breathes better. Research from Austria referred to in Randulf Valles book "Why Does Being Wet Make You Feel So Cold" clearly shows that moisture is transported away from the body more efficiently when wearing wool. Try it yourself! Not to mention, wool is "self cleaning" and doesn't get smelly like polyester. That means that you can wash wool far less than polyester, and save both your clothes and the planet.

COMMUNITY
In winter of 2021 we were sent the idea to create a pair of "camp pants" through our idea portal. We were immediately excited about the thought of finally offering mid-layers, and quickly landed on wool fleece as the perfect material. We quickly realized that there were many other products that would suit the same material, and started working on our wool fleece series.

As with many of our products we decided to develop some of them with our Community. This gives us valuable input and ensures that we implement elements our customers want, and exclude details no one needs. If you want to take part in developing future garments, join our Community here.
